circle

[IMDB] [Amazon]

circle is yet another twist on the 12 angry men concept.  (the twist this time is that they crossed it with one of those "reality" shows where you vote every day to eliminate somebody.)  i am not sure why i seek this kind of film out, but i think it is probably because i really liked 12 angry men.  so much anger.

anyway, circle features a whole bunch of unlikable characters that somehow sum up to a not unlikable whole.  my favorite was the guy who did not say anything the whole time.  i would have been rooting for him if it had not been obvious that nobody was going to let him win.

circle gets two voting blocs.
